RUN 

 Petra, Jordan (September 2025)

This is more than the start of a race. It’s the beginning of a mission.

At sunrise on September 6, 2025, I’ll enter Petra, the famous rose-red city carved from stone. The race starts in the narrow Siq, where towering ancient walls surround you and then open up to the stunning Treasury. From there, the path leads past forgotten tombs, over rugged mountains, and into the quiet expanse of the Jordanian desert.

Each step will be more than just running. It will be a prayer, a sacrifice, and a way to honor people living with disabilities, whose daily challenges often go unnoticed. Each stride reminds me that it’s by God’s alone grace that I run.

This marathon is the first of seven, taking me to each of the Seven Wonders of the World. Petra is where the journey starts. This is faith in action, worship with every step, and a mission greater than myself.
